stereo total - orange mechanique



i used to listen to stereo total in high school!! now it's 11 years later and my head is spinning!

this track is a wonderful, compact morsel - like so many stereo total songs. i love the dramatic opening, the monologue, and the thematic go-go portion that follows... evocative of a monster B-movie. stereo total transcends time and space!
